Hi all,
what command do I use to check size of files in 1 directory(ie. /home/myfiles/)?

and I'm looking for a good tutorial talk about QUOTA(ie install/setup...) to user with my RH linux box. Does anyone know?
Thanks

find /home/myfiles -size +1953 -print

1953 blocks * 512 ~ 1 MB

err...jerre?!

hct, you'll want to look at a couple commands...one is ls -l ( <- that's a lower case L ) ;-)

Also, you'll want the du command.

du -ks . ( gives size of directory and it's contents )
du -ks * ( gives size of files and of directories ).

As for quota...is there really a reason, any more, to have a quota system? In this day and age of personal set-top servers with 100s of gigs of HD space for pennies a gig? If so, I'd check out man quota, and then do a google search for "howto quota", as I don't recall off the top of my head as to how to set it up.

Early this morning, I distinctly saw the words "find all files over 1 megabyte". Maybe I shouldn't try posting past my bedtime.

Heh, happens to the best of us...I had to look over his post a couple times too to make sure that's not what he was talking about myself! ;-)
